This was my first Bojangles visit ever! Everyone kept telling me about how I should go to Bojangles but my experience was crummy so here I write about it.
I generally wouldn't rate a fast food place but man, if you could hire kids that couldn't get a single thing right, then this would be the place. And if I were someone with dietary restrictions that could pose a health threat- just stay away from here. Better let someone without diabetes taste your tea before you take a drink a tablespoon of sugar by mistake.
11:46 am and I go through a drive through for lunch. I order a chicken salad with blue cheese dressing, a small mashed potato and an Unsweetened Ice Black Tea with a side of Non sugar sweetener. You'd think the non sugar sweetener part would've been indicative of an unsweetened black tea but the young guy at the speaker/window was kind of "off". As a mother of two kids and a near teenager, I just hope and pray that whatever job they do, they do it well and with excellence. It doesn't matter if you make $13 an hour or $300 an hour or if you cashier and take orders or you are a neurosurgeon, do the best work you can put out because that's YOUR work. Zero effort says a lot about who you are. Ok, end mom lecture.
So I get to the window and get handed a drink. No straw. No sweetener. I'm patient and think its all gonna be in the bag like ChicFilA. Not quite. I get handed the food bag and there is no straw, so I asked. And asked for Splenda. He looked at me and said, "huh?" And I said, "Splenda please- non sugar sweetener, and a straw." so he leaves and comes back with Splenda and the straw. I pull away and notice that I have a spork for my mashed potatoes and I guess I was supposed to eat a salad with the spork as well? As I get to my salad, the greens, cucumber and tomato were pretty fresh and alright, the whole salad was cold, but omg the chicken was like it was sitting out on a kitchen counter for 4 hours. It was tough, dry, room temp. As I went to put my Splenda in my tea, something told me to taste the tea, and as my intuition suspected, they gave me sweet tea not regular iced tea. I don't know what the hype is all about. ChicFilA gets ir right and tight, every time, every location. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but it was enough bad for $18 that I don't want to eat there ever again.
